At about 3.5 inches long, the Verdin is one of the smallest birds in our backyard. That, plus its propensity to never stop moving has made it one of the most difficult for me to get a good capture of. Today I was blessed. This male decided to land on an agave branch and pose for me. Totally blessed!
